This week’s Personal Photo Project was to create an image to send out with my “Merry Christmas” message.
More pictures from the Merry Christmas – 2012 Series:
I was very lucky to have all these people show up at the church on Christmas Eve and pose for these pictures!
Not sure where next week’s Personal Photo Project will take me.
I believe the majority of these pictures were taken in Colorado. These images were printed in July of 1979.
Sara and Shawn’s vision wasn’t completed on our first photo shoot, so a second photo shoot was scheduled. Here are a few of my favorite images from the 2nd photo shoot.
Next week’s Wednesday randomness will involve the annual Howard Family Photo Shoot.
Getting through the holidays and getting caught up on some photo editing. I apologize for the delay. I know it weighed heavily on you.

The rest of the Purest and Most Thoughtful Series:
You might be wondering how these images were made. Good.
More from Kansas:
Sara and Shawn had a brilliant idea for their Save the Date Cards. They just needed the right photographer to make their vision a reality.
They tapped me as that guy and we went on a two day journey to will their cards into reality. Here are some of my favorite images from the Day 1 Photo Shoot.
Now these images didn’t make the card and some of them for very obvious reasons, but they still are my favorites.
Next week’s Wednesday randomness will cover the 2nd day of the Lockner Save the Date Photo Shoots!
I can’t wait for the Winter Solstice this week. I can’t wait for the days to start getting longer again!

This fits into a crafty version of the Personal Photo Project.
Even though almost everybody thinks it is a bad idea, except Michelle and Jesse, I’m really considering decoupaging a photo montage onto a wall or two or three in my house. I’m really considering doing the basement stairwell. I’m considering doing this even though I know it will make it more difficult to sell my house some day, but on the other hand, there is a chance I could live in that house the rest of my life. When I retire I could decoupage the entire house. Then when I die it would be one of those tourism oddities. I can almost see the entry in the tourism book now:
No visit to central Iowa would be complete without a stop at True Lone Wolf Manor. Thousandaire recluse, madman, artist, genius (by 2 standard deviations), and undisputed True Lone Wolf Christopher D. Bennett spent his retirement years decoupaging the heck out of his house. It is a must see for lovers of art, crafts, photography, and crazy old people. Head east on Union Street from Story Street…
I still have a little ways to go to master the craft, but my 2nd attempt worked, while my 1st attempt was an unmitigated disaster:
When you examine this work, you shouldn’t look at the design or the pictures so much. I basically stuck my hand into an old box of pictures and selected some that I could live without, but didn’t make me sick to look at and started gluing away. There really isn’t a design. This represents a mixture of glue, old photos, and chaos. When I take to my wall, there will be the outlines of an outline of a plan.
